CANNOT LOCATE FILTERS ON AC UNIT - Ruud UAKA018 Air Conditioner

Isidro, If it's a window unit you will need to tilt it up from the inside. Thank you and please leave me feedback. Clean around the bottom of any debris so it can drain on the outside.

Check that the filters are clean, Common failure on most air cons. If they are blocked or dirty, the indoor unit gets really hot and keeps switching off as it thinks it has reached room temperature. WASH the filters in water. Dont vacuum or brush them.

Sounds like you need another opinion from another AC man. If you are in an apartment complex, it has been my experience most apartment techs have limited knowledge of what to check. Try this
1. With the unit on, go to you air filter and check for proper air flow. If you are using pleated filters, stop. Use what is called 30 day throwaway filters. Pleated filters block 35 % of the air flow and can cause evaporators to freeze over. Ace hardware still stocks the ones with the blue mesh with cardboard edges. I have used the same filters for over 2 years. All I do is use my vacuum cleaner and clean the dust bunnies collected every 30 days.
2. Perform an sight inspection of your duct system. I have had several customers whose duct have fallen off and they were air conditioning the attic space and/or crawl space.
3. Have your AC man determine your superheat and subcooling value for your airconditioning unit. If your AC man does not know what these are then he really isn't an AC man. A typical value for most superheat (SH) and subcool (SC) is 12 to 15 degrees. These values are typically normal values but can change due to design criteria established among manufactures. If your AC man does not know what these are or can not measure these you need to get someone that know how to obtain them. These values are typical value for a normally charged equipment and does not vary from refrigerant to refrigerant.
Hope this helps.

Your AC unit should be still covered by warranty, get the installer to check you AC unit.

thats a problem of filters nothing else

If the filters are clogh with dirt , the unit breaker will shut it off ,it's avery common problem , but if after the filters were cleaned it keeps shutting off , could be a bad fan motor or the compressor itself could be grounded.

no you dont need both. one will do. whichever is easier to replace

Bad news, the 97 Voyager does not have a cabin filter that can be changed. Chrysler did not start using filters on this model until 2001. You may have mildew or mold on the evaporator in the dash.

If the AC unit doesn't have sufficient air flow to carry away the cold air then condensation and the extra cold air will freeze at the unit. good air flow is the solution. Change the filters, clean the unit by removing the covers and looking for pet hair/leaves/dirt inside the coils of the unit. and make sure the ducting is connected and not clogged.
